Math

Our math period consists of many different levels. We begin each math period with a warm-up. They do different problems to trigger prior knowledge or to get a glimpse at what is to come ahead. When new skills are taught students are given ample time to practice those skills independently. When they complete their independent work they move on to different tasks to practice further. They play math games with classmates, use the computer and complete a writing in math task weekly. The units of study include: 1. place value and money 2. adding and subtracting whole numbers and money 3. multiplication and division concepts 4. multiplying by one-digit numbers 5. multiplying by two-digit numbers 6. dividing 7. geometry and measurement 8. fraction concepts 9. fraction operations and customary measurement 10. decimals and metric measurement 11. graphing and probability Books: Mathematics by Scott Foresman- Addison Wesley
